Broncos show energy during Friday practice before departing for K.C.

All present and accounted for, Broncos players showed a bounce in their step Friday during the early portion of their morning practice.

The team is scheduled to depart Friday afternoon for a flight to Kansas City because Sunday's game at Arrowhead Stadium has an early kickoff of 11 a.m. Mountain time (noon in K.C.).

In order to give the team more time to acclimate, second-year Broncos coach John Fox has the team departing a day early for all games with early kickoffs — even for road games against the Chiefs, which require a chartered flight of only about an hour.
